Our initiatives collectively focus on enhancing the health and resilience of coastal landscapes. Community scientists (like you!) enhance coastal ecosystems across Miami-Dade County, help with ongoing biodiversity monitoring, and collect and catalogue marine debris. Our community science programs promote awareness and stewardship, while contributing to global databases that inform biodiversity science and marine debris research.
